Influenza.

Influenza. The most universally employed measurement of the impact of epidemics and pandemics is the excess of mortality due to influenza and pneumonia. Other criteria are absenteeism from school and work, and all three will show positive indications when epidemics are of substantial size. During the 1974-1975 influenza season in Houston, school and industrial absenteeism and the increase in influenza and pneumonia deaths, despite a newly devised statistical procedure, did not signal an epidemic. However, a system of community surveillance of febrile respiratory illness with cultures for influenza virus during late January and early February 1975 gave unmistakable evidence of an influenza epidemic, with more than 600 virus isolations and an estimated occurrence of 50,000 cases of the disease. It is believed that this type of study can explore facets of the epidemiology of the disease not hitherto adequately examined. From this surveillance, which will continue through the summer months, it is hoped to gain further knowledge of the occurrence of antigenic drift and shift, and of the details of the early origin and progress of epidemics. Current speculation is that there will be another world pandemic before 1980 caused by a derivative of A strains presently circulating; in 1985-1991, a pandemic is predicted to be caused by a virus antigenically related to the swine agent of 1918. The purity of vaccines has been increased in recent years through ultracentrifugation and high-efficiency filtration, so that dosages can be increased while severity of reactions is reduced. The current level of dosage of vaccine for adults is 1200 chick cell agglutinating units, almost double what it was a dozen years ago. Recently, vaccines have been prepared more rapidly by the use of viral recombinants that incorporate the surface antigens of newly emerged epidemic strains into the core of older strains that grow well in embryonated eggs. This practical device greatly reduces the lead time in the preparation of new vaccines. The main problem in immunization against influenza is the need to reimmunize every 1-3 years. This creates an enormous requirement for vaccine and therefore a problem of selection of recipients. Currently, it is recommended that aged persons and those with cardiovascular, pulmonary and other chronic illnesses should receive the vaccine. Pregnant women are not more susceptible than others to the disease, and they should receive vaccine only if they have some other indications for immunization. Schoolchildren probably are important in transmission of the disease, but at present there is no special recommendation to immunize them. Young children occasionally have severe febrile convulsions when immunized against influenza, and those with this history probably should not be immunized. Amantadine is useful as a prophylactic agent in A(H3N2) influenza infections, and several reports suggest therapeutic benefits as well. Its benefits probably have not been fully utilized...

3-Deacetoxy-7-(alpha-amino-1-cyclohexenylacetamido) cephalosporanic acid (SCE-100), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin. II. Comparative in vivo antibacterial activities of SCE-100 and cephalexin (CEX). The protective activity of 3-deacetoxy-7-(alpha-amino-1-cyclohexenylacetamido) cephalosporanic acid (SCE-100) against experimental intraperitoneal infections in mice caused by several strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, including penicillin resistant strains, was compared with that of cephalexin (CEX). Comparable protective effects by oral administration of SCE-100 and CEX were observed in mice infected with Gram-positive organisms, while in mice infected with Gram-negative organisms SCE-100 was less active than CEX. SCE-100 showed a protective effect in infections of mice with either penicillin G-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli. The oral ED50 of SCE-100 was similar to or slightly larger than the subcutaneous value.

The hemodynamic effects of intrauterine hypoxia: an experimental model in newborn lambs. An experimental animal model of intrauterine hypoxia and respiratory distress in newborn lambs was produced by inducing maternal hypotension. Serial hemodynamic data indicated that the oxygenation defect in the lambs was due to right-to-left shunting of blood through fetal channels rather than within the lungs. Shunting was mainly across the foramen ovale, but, in severely distressed animals, significant right-to-left shunt also occurred through the ductus arteriosus. Left-to-right shunts across the ductus arteriosus were found in lambs with milder respiratory distress. The implications of perinatal hypoxia as it affects the pulmonary vascular bed in human neonates with the respiratory distress syndrome (hyaline membrane disease) and persistence of the fetal circulation are discussed. It is speculated that the early pulmonary vascular esponses in the two diseases may be identical.

Comparison of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin theraphy for shigellosis in ambulatory. One-hundred seventy-four infants and children with acute diarrhea were treated as ambulatory patients with either ampicillin (100 mg/kg/day orally in four divided doses) or trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (10 mg TMP and 50 mg SMX/KG/day orally in two divided doses). There were 65 patients with shigellosis. Responses of those treated with TMP/SMX and of those with susceptible Shigella treated with ampicillin were comparable. Patients with resistant organisms failed to respond to ampicillin. All Shigella, including ampicillin-resistant strains, were suseptible in vitro to TMP/SMX, and patients with ampicillin-resistant strains responded favorably to treatment with TMP/SMX. TMP/SMX appears to be the best, currently available drug for the treatment of shigellosis.

The midwife in the Third World.

The midwife in the Third World. Trained nurse midwives perform many important maternal and general health duties in the developing world.  They deliver babies, vaccinate infants, teach infant hygiene and nutrition, and bridge the gap between the isolated rural health centers and the communities they serve.  Unfortunately, these trained professionals are in very short supply, leaving many areas of the world with no regular maternal and child health services.  However, most villages, even in remote areas, have "granny" midwives, i.e., usually old women who perform deliveries in the traditional manner.  UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) has initiated a twin policy in the child health field.  While UNICEF actively supports initial and refresher programs for professional midwives and auxiliaries, it also is assisting developing countries in establishing simple hygiene training at the village level to bring the "granny" midwives under control of the rural health centers.  These "grannies" have been willing and eager to participate in the UNICEF-sponsored programs and especially eager to receive and use the special UNICEF-donated midwife kits.  Professional midwives can work closely with these "granny" midwives to improve delivery service in the rural, isolated areas.

Cancer and the ostomy patient.

Cancer and the ostomy patient.


Colostomates' reactions to hospitalization and colostomy surgery. Six patients having colostomy surgery on an emergency or urgent basis were observed during the morning care period for the entire length of hospitalization. The primary purpose of this clinical study was to provide nurses with information on new colostomates' behaviors which have implications for nursing care during hospitalization and in planning for discharge. The evidence presented strongly suggests that colostomates' reactions and behaviors reflect their struggling with catastrophic events, the resolution of which is not reached by discharge. Colostomates are unique because of the nature of their surgery and the specific learning needs entailed, plus the skill, time, and money required to provide care. Yet their anxieties, fears, affects, the nature of their information-seeking and goal-setting, their efforts to deal with reality by controlling imput, and the ways in which they seek help and socialize, are all themes common among other groups of patients experiencing stress as the result of sudden illness or injury.


Ostomies: why, how and where. An overview.


Urinary diversion. Select aspects of nursing management. Transition from non-ostomate to ostomate can be an incredibly traumatic experience for the unprepared as well as the prepared individual. Nursing management should resolve when possible those problems that can make life with a urinary diversion unbearable. Successful nursing management will solidly and emphatically underscore everything each member of the rehabilitation team assures and teaches about rehabilitation potential.


Development of an enterostomal therapy education program. The establishment and conduct of an enterostomal therapy education program is predicated on the firm belief in quality care for the patient with a stoma, on utilization of the registered nurse E.T. assigned in the Department of Nursing for delivery of service to stoma patients, on professional and administrative support, and on an appropriate educational climate.


Symposium on alcoholism and drug addiction.


An ostomy information clinic. A community resource. This article has included some facets of discussions that take place at the Ostomy Information Clinic in Milwaukee. All types of ostomates attend one or more clinics to obtain information and help with management of their ostomies. Topics explored are management of drainage, odor control, use of the cone irrigation, digestion, nutrition and diet, and travel tips. In addition to ostomates, nurses often attend the clinics with or without their patients. Consultation is also provided to the Visiting Nurses' Association and local hospital nursing staffs. I would like to encourage other nurses to consider conducting ostomy information clinics in conjunction with the American Cancer Society. Not only is there a great need, but it is a personally rewarding and satisfactory experience.

Re-evaluating a neglected resource--people.


Psychotherapeutic intervention with the addict-client. In order for the nurse therapist to be most effective with the narcotic-addicted client, she should be aware that his behavioral style many times reflects dependence, low self-esteem, and impaired reality testing. The major defense mechanisms used by the client are denial, projection, and manipulation. An attitude of hopeful expectancy on the part of the nurse is most important therapeutically in the treatment of the addict. Some therapeutic interpersonal interventions between the nurse and client are contracting, goal-setting, limit-setting, and the sharing of the responsibility for growth between the client and the nurse. The total treatment program for the client must also be scrutinized, and more than physiologic detoxification and one-to-one therapy must be provided in order for the client to have the maximum opportunity for change.

Response of the regional lymphatic system of the sheep to acute stress and adrenaline. An acute pain stimulus resulted in elevated lymph flow and output of cells from the popliteal lymph node of the sheep in the first 15 min after the stress. Efferent lymph flow increased by an average of 93% above the mean resting flow and cell output rose by an average of 170% during this period, but by 30 min after the stress, values for both lymph flow and cell output had returned to normal. The cell content of the efferent lymph was significantly higher in the first 15 min after the acute stress and it is suggested that there is a sizeable pool of lymphocytes within the resting popliteal node which can be mobilized into the lymph by an acute stress. A single intravenous injection of 1 mg adrenaline the efferent lymph flow in all the sheep examined but gave rise to an increased cell output in only 50% of the sheep. This indicated that there may be other factors, possibly hormonal, involved in the movement of the pool of lymphocytes out of the regional lymph node following acute stress. Both acute pain stress and adrenaline resulted in an increased afferent popliteal lymph flow and output of cells from the regional tissues in the first 15 min after administration. The results are suggestive of a small pool of lymphocytes in the regional tissues which may be readily mobilized by either acute stress or adrenaline. Part of the increases in efferent and afferent lymph flow observed following acute stress and adrenaline appeared to be due to an increased lymph formation, presumably as a result of an increased capillary pressure. Nevertheless, it is considered that the greater part of the increased flow of lymph from both regions resulted from an accelerated movement of performed lymph.


Increased water drinking induced by sodium depletion in sheep. Forty-eight hours of sodium depletion by acute cannulation of a parotid duct, via the buccal papilla, in the sheep, resulted in a progressive decrease in salivary secretion rate, salivary, urinary and plasma [Na] and no change in plasma [K]. In the first 24 h of Na depletion water intake was significantly increased. As normal sheep parotid saliva [Na] is higher than plasma [Na] and salivary loss over the first 24 h represented Na loss in excess of water relative to extracellular proportions, increased water intake was not osmotically induced. However, the animals did not replace their water deficit on either of the 2 days of Na depletion. This would appear to be valuable experimental model of increased water intake probably induced by hypovaolaemia, but uncomplicated concurrent osmotic stimuli, or any other factors which might result with the other commonly used experimental stimuli of thirst such as haemorrhage.

Clinical, epidemiologic and bacteriologic observations of an outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at a large community hospital. Over a 12 month period, 61 isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MR-SA) were obtained in 23 hospitalized patients. Eight-six per cent of the patients were over 50 years of age, and 91 per cent were in the postoperative period. In 10 patients (42 per cent), MR-SA was the major pathogen, producing either pneumonia, empyema, osteomyelitis, lung abscess, enterocolitis, wound infection or bacteremia with sepsis. Three patients in this group died despite therapy with antibiotics with in vitro activity against these organisms. All the patients probably acquired their MR-SA in the hospital, and five carriers of the organism were identified among hospital personnel. This outbreak demonstrates the ability of MR-SA not only to colonize many patients in a relatively brief period of time, but also to produce serious disease.

Antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus in Saigon, South Vietnam. Methicillin resistant staphylococci are unevenly distributed throughout the world; the explanation for this is not known. During a survey of local hospitals for methicillin resistance, a number of strains from South Vietnam became available for study. Tests were performed in microtiter plates using various concentrations of several antibiol. With the larger number of organisms in the inoculum, 17% of strains required 12.5 mug/ml or more of methicillin for inhibition. This is in contrast to a very low percentage of methicillin resistant staphylococci from local sources encountered in our laboratory. An unexpected finding was the occurrence of considerable lincomycin resistance in staphylococci from South Vietnam.

Drug abuse in Afghanistan.

Drug abuse in Afghanistan. 1. The two major drugs abused in Afghanistan are hashish and opium. Opium is either smoked or eaten. Hashish is only smoked. 2. Solitary abuse of one single drug, either hashish or opium, is the common feature of drug abuse in Afghanistan. 3. Abuse of other patent drugs as well as multiple drug abuse by the same individual, increasingly common elsewhere, is quite rare. 4. Self-treatment is a major cause of drug abuse in Afghanistan while escape from boredom and lack of work and motivation is another. 5. Hashish as well as opium is commonly abused by people of a low socioeconomical standard. 6. Alcohol, a more recent introduction by the upper class, is becoming popular among city dwellers with major risks involved for the future. 7. Drug abuse in Afghanistan has so far not created problems comparable to those in the West, although there is no guarantee that in future it will not do so. Coercive measures aimed at depriving an individual of his drug of choice may involve the greater risk of drug substitution which will then be an even more difficult problem to manage. 8. Factors involved in prevention as well as cure of the drug-dependent population in Afghanistan have been discussed.


Research into expressions of attitudes about drugs--what use is it? The authors draw attention to an assumption often implicit in presentation and utilisation of attitude data, that attitudes are the cause of behaviour. They then present attitude data collected from English schoolchildren with various levels of familiarity with drugs--these data could be interpreted in many ways and are compatible with the hypothesis that pupils' social experiences and behaviour may precede and influence their attitudes. It is suggested that the concept of the "transitional process" between socially available roles may be useful to researchers, evaluators and programme planners.


Pharmacological activity of three fractions obtained by smoking cannabis through a water pipe. In a collaborative work, six chemical fractions obtained from smoke of cannabis, prepared by the Department of Biological Chemistry, University of Athens, were assayed pharmacologically at the Department of Psychobiology, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Brazil. The chemical fractions, obtained through burning cannabis mixed with a special tobacco through a water pipe similar to that used by Greek smokers, were: fraction IS composed of water-soluble compounds, fraction IIS made up of water-insoluble substances that condensed at the top of the water phase due to their low solubility; and fraction IIIS, of water-insoluble highly volatile substances, corresponding to the part that reaches the human lungs. Fractions IB, IIB and IIIB were placebo fractions obtained from burning only the special tobacco, called "tubeki", which is mixed with cannabis by the Greek smokers. The six fractions were assayed pharmacologically, in a blind fashion, using the following methods: barbiturate sleeping time in mice, catatonia in mice, corneal reflex in rabbits (Gayer test), and spontaneous motor activity in mice. Fraction IS, and its placebo fraction IB, were inactive in all methods employed, revealing no water-soluble active substances in cannabis. Fraction IIS revealed to be the most active as it induced significant effects in all 4 methods used; its IIB placebo fraction was inactive. Fraction IIIS, composed of the only substances that reach the human lungs, was moderately active; it produced significant effects on barbiturate sleeping time of mice and on the corneal reflex of rabbits, but was inactive in inducing catatonia and in decreasing spontaneous motor activity of mice. These results indicate that devices such as the water pipe used by Greek smokers retain active principles from cannabis.

Multiple drug resistance in Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica from cattle and swine. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing on 262 strains of Pasteurella multocida and 141 strains of Pasteurella haemolytica isolated from cattle and swine from 1971 to 1974 were analyzed for patterns of resistance to streptomycin, penicillin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol, using a modified Kirby-Bauer procedure. Resistance was recorded for 80.5% of the isolants of P multocida and 92.2% of those of P haemolytica. Resistance to streptomycin was most frequent, followed by resistance to penicillin and tetracycline. Most cultures of P multocida and P haemolytica were susceptible to chloramphenicol. There were 9 patterns of resistance with the aforementioned antibiotics. The combinations, streptomycin and penicillin and streptomycin and tetracycline, each accounted for approximately 10% of the resistance patterns of P multocida. Approximately half of the 14 isolants of P haemolytica were resistant to the combination of streptomycin, penicillin, and tetracycline. These observations underscore the need for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of clinical isolants of P multocida and P haemolytica.


MORLUC numeric system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae. Foul hundred eighty-six members of the Enterobacteriaceae representing nine genera were identified by conventional methods, and the results were compared with MORLUC (Biotrol Company Inc., Jamaica, N.Y.). MORLUC, an acronym for melibiose, ONPG (o-nitrophenyl-beta-galactopyranoside), rhamnose, lysine decarboxylase, urease, and citrate, are six prepackaged reagent-impregnated paper loops which are sealed within a plastic packet. The hydrogen sulfide reaction obtained from a triple sugar iron slant is coupled with MORLUC results and is readily converted into a three-digit numerical code, which is referenced on a preprinted single page listing. Additionally, the triple sugar iron is used to confirm the glucose fermentation by an unknown isolate. Comparisons of individual MORLUC tests and standard methods results in a better than 92% agreement, except for unrease. Four hundred sixty-six of the 486 bacterial isolates, or 96% of the strains which were numerically identified by MORLUC, agreed with conventional diagnoses.


The effectiveness of hourly cuff deflation in minimizing tracheal damage. The efficacy of hourly endotracheal tube cuff deflations in minimizing tracheal damage has not been clearly established. Two investigations which specifically address this question arrive at differing conclusions. These investigations fail to report important variables which may have explained the difference in their results. The present study examined the effects of hourly cuff deflations in minimizing tracheal damage in mechanically ventilated, anesthetized dogs over a 72 hour test period. Variables which may influence tracheal damage were measured and reported. Three groups of dogs received either continuous cuff inflation, hourly 5 minute cuff deflations, or a continuous air leak. The air leak group had significanlty less damage than the continuous inflation group (P less than 0.05) and the hourly deflation group (P less than 0.01). There was no significant difference between the continuous inflation group and the 5 minute hourly deflation group.

Relationship between resistance to metallic ions and production of beta-lactamase in strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Thirty five strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis were tested for resistance to penicillin G, erythomycin, metallic ions Zn, As3, As5, Cd, Hg, Pb and activity of beta-lactamase. These studies have shown that the majority of tested staphylococci were resistant to penicillin G, erythromycin, and produced beta-lactamase. No correlation between the activity of beta-lactamase and the resistance to metallic ions has been shown.

Contraception and the adolescent female. Although most teenagers have some knowledge of birth control methods, most sexually active adolescents do not  use one consistently. Some young women are too apathetic or irresponsible to use birth control, even if the method is available. However, most teenagers do not want to become pregnant. If factual information is given, the method is easily accessible and is acceptable to them, and if they have come to terms with their own sexuality, most young women will accept the responsibility of preventing an unwanted pregnancy.

Relationship of sex role identity to occupational image of female nursing sutdents. In this study to determine whether a relationship exists between sex role identity and image of nursing, sex role identity was measured by the Mf scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the image of nursing was measured by Frank's (1969) Image of Nursing Questionnaire (INQ). In the spring of 1973, the MMPI Mf scale and the INQ were administered to 430 female senior nursing students in two baccalaureate, five associate degree, and five diploma programs in northern Illinois. A secondary purpose of the study was to determine whether identifiable groups, i.e., students who differed in age, type of nursing program, and education and occupation of parents, differed in their image of nursing. Sex role identity had a significant (p less than .001) positive relationship to image of nursing. The student's image of nursing was more in harmony with the image advanced by the profession when the student's sex role identity was more masculine. However, analysis of variance indicated that students with a highly feminine sex role identity had significantly lower total INQ scores and were, therefore, in disharmony with the professional image of nursing. Graduates of associate degree and baccalaureate programs had an image of nursing more in harmony with that advanced by the profession than students who graduated from diploma prgorams. Underlying causes for these findings and implications for nursing were explored.


Nursing behaviors in bereavement: an exploratory study. Twenty-five pairs of terminally ill patients and their loved ones were studied to determine nursing behaviors which offer greatest support, comfort, and ease of suffering to the loved ones. The Q-sort methodology, consisting of 88 cards, each with one behavior, was used. A three-tier classification of behaviors was derived: those that promote the dying patient's comfort and hygiene; those that indicate understanding of the emotional needs of the dying patient; and those that indicate understanding of the impact on the bereaved of grief, grieving, and loss. The most-desired behaviors pertained to the patient, and the most-desired behavior of the total group was to "keep the patient well groomed." The least-desired behavior (ranked 88th) was to "encourage me to cry."

Effect of pulse palpation on cardiac arrhythmia in coronary care patients. In a study of 62 coronary care patients, 31 of whom exhibited types of cardiac arrhythmia, the frequency of ectopic beats changed significantly when a nurse palpated the pulse. This finding suggests that autonomic responses to human contact can significantly alter the rate of ectopic impulse generation. These findings further suggest that studies of cardiac arrhythmia should attend to the nature of the social field in which data are collected.

Perceived dimensions of job satisfaction for staff registered nurses. To measure the importance of dimensions of job satisfaction 144 females registered staff nurses in four East Coast metropolitan hospitals were given an 18-item Likert-type instrument. Results indicated that the traditional intrinsic/extrinsic dichotomy, which exists in elements of job satisfaction, did not apply. The nurses perceived their job satisfaction in a more complex fashion, in that four statistically independent dimensions emerged with "relationship orientations" accounting for almost 24 percent of the total variance. The study implies that previous considerations in job satisfaction for the professional may need to be reexamined in terms beyond the traditional in trinsic/extrinsic dichotomy.

Orientation of senior nursing students toward access to contraceptives. Attitudes of 264 senior students of nursing toward providing contraception services to all who want them were assessed in 1974 through a questionnaire. In general, the students expressed permissive attitudes toward dispensing contraceptives to all except one group-very young tennagers. They were reluctant to endorse educating young people about contraception prior to puberty; one-half considered 15 or older the best age to educate. When contraceptive dispersal outside professional control was considered, students evidenced restricitive attitudes. Less than one-third endorsed placing nonprescription contraceptives in vending machines or food markets. Students with more permissive attitudes toward free access to contraceptives were more likely to express permissive attitudes toward premarital sex, nontraditional views of woman's role, and high concern about population problems. They were less likely to consider religion important, to attend sectarian schools, or to be of the Catholic faith.


Disease-related learning and disease control in diabetics as a function of locus of control. This study investigated the relationship between the individual difference variable, locus of control, and a patient's response to diabetes. Since internal persons have been found to be active information seekers as compared to external persons, it was predicted that internal diabetics would know more about their disease and would, therefore, demonstrate more control over it. As predicted, internal diabetics did have more diabetic information, although this superiority over externals diminished as the length of the disease increased. Contrary to prediction, internal diabetics seemed to incur more problems with disease than externals as the disease progressed. This finding was interpreted as presenting a limiting case to the usual thinking about the superiority of an internal's response to problem situations.

Values of male nursing students.

Values of male nursing students. Values of male nursing students (MNS) at the Ohio State University (OSU) were compared with values of OSU female nursing students, collegiate men in general, medical students, teachers, and personnel and guidance workers, using the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values Scale. The scale measures relative importance to the subject of six basic interests: theoretical, economic, esthetic, social, political, and religious. The sample included 34 men and 841 women who entered the School of Nursing in 1971, 1972, and 1973. The OSU groups scored highest on the social scale, lowest on the economic scale. Males scored higher than females on theoretical and lower on religious scales. When OSU males' scores were compared with national norms, MNS scored higher than general college males on social and esthetic scales and lower on economic and political scales; MNS scored higher than medical students on economic and social scales and lower on theoretical scale; MNS scored higher than teachers on esthetic and social scales and lower on the religious scale; and MNS scored higher than personnel and guidance workers on the esthetic scale.

Health care for women: I. Current social and behavioral issues. The medical interview. Problems in communication. Medicine is a middle-class phenomenon. The medical interview, an encounter often shrouded with emotion for the patient, may be carried on in jargon with which the patient is not familiar. Major breakdowns in communication exist when doctors cannot or will not speak the patient's language, or vice versa. Recent research examines how much patients are led to feel that they must communicate in the doctor's language, as well as the extent of miscommunication.


Team obstetrics and the nurse-midwife. Issues in patient acceptance. In this discussion we have presented findings from a study of patient acceptance of a nurse-midwife. The significance of the initial encounter for patient acceptance has been interpreted in terms of a primacy effect. The negative effect of the obstetrician's presence during initial encounters between patient and nurse-midwife has been discussed in terms of expectation theory. The theory leads us to predict that the patient's perceptions of competence of the nurse-midwife were more favorable when the obstetrician was absent from the initial encounter than when he was present. Finally we have interpreted the overall ease of communication between the nurse-midwife and patients as a result of mutual participation, and complementary rather than crossed interactions. This ease of communication is a major factor accounting for the general enthusiasm of patients for the nurse-midwife in the provision of office care. The importance of interpersonal relationships between health professionals and patients for effective patient care cannot be overstated. Romano has stressed the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in obstetrics and gynecology because of the many anxieties and concerns of women concerning their health problems. Hopefully, our findings will encourage physicians to explore the role of mid-level health professionals and particularly nurse-midwives in enhancing the overall quality of health care for women.


Prevention of unwanted pregnancy among teenagers. A psychosocial constellation that appears to predispose many teenage girls to risk unwanted pregnancy includes hostility in the parents' marriage, alienation from the mother, and a seductive father-daughter relationship. The dynamics which lead into sexual acting out include attempts to (1) compensate for low self-esteem by seeking male approval and (2) reduce anxiety over sexual fantasies or behavior with the father by counterphobic coital contacts with other men. Provision of a contraceptive method alone is sometimes insufficient to protect a woman with these dynamics from unwanted pregnancy because her conflicts over dependency needs and sexuality may interfere with taking responsibility for reliable use of contraceptives. Supplementary intervention, either by the primary care physician, a psychiatrist, or other mental health professional, is recommended where the high risk family history is evident.


Understanding adolescent pregnancy and abortion.


Female s-xual response. Hormonal and behavioral interactions. Recent studies suggest that hormones do play a role in the expression of female sexual behavior, and the inconsistency of findings between various groups does not mean that hormonal effects can be disregarded. Hormones may interact with other situational variables to sometimes enhance sexual behavior, and at other times suppress it. Sexual activity may itself trigger alterations in hormone levels, just as hormones may activate changes in behavior.


Sexual and contraceptive behavior in young unmarried women. The psychological determinants of sexual and contraceptive behavior among young women are complex, variable over time, and individually unique. While the approach of an individual clinician or clinical program can be shaped by certain common developmental sequences, a given individual's behavior is determined by many factors which come together in a unique way at a given point in time, and thus the most successful encounter will be that which involves face-to-face, one-to-one contact between client and practitioner.


Social factors in the psychology of menstruation, birth, and menopause. Information about possible social influences on the psychology of reproduction, supplemented by a clinical understanding of the psychodynamics of the individual and scientific knowledge about the effects of hormones on behavior, provides insight into the experience of a particular woman in a particular social milieu. Such insight is an appropriate basis for effective treatment of many of the clinical problems in the area of psychosomatic obstetrics and gynecology.


Early human interaction: mother and child. Studies of the differing means of definition problems of parturition and neonatal dependence, the extent of human variability underlying them, and the possibilities for enrichment of experience in early human interaction call into question such standard practices as isolation of the newborn, separation of mother and infant immediately after birth, and division of the family unit at the very time when it is symbolically and in reality becoming a family unit.

Burns; office evaluation and management. Accidental burn injuries are common. Estimates by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare indicate that two million individuals of all ages sustain burn injuries each year. One hundred thousand of these require hospitalization and the remainder are managed as out-patients. Physicians involved in primary care are potentially responsible for initial evaluation, decision-making about referral and hospitalization, and office treatment of individuals who do not require hospitalization.


Psychiatric consultation for physically ill children. In addition to age-appropriate information about his physical condition and its treatment, the child needs help with the feelings associated with being ill or injured. If the feelings are so powerful that a state of despair exists, or are strongly defended against with self-defeating and unresponsive behavior, consultation with the child psychiatrist should be requested.

The "barker" (neonatal respiratory distress) syndrome in the pig: its occurrence in the field. A new syndrome, characterised by acute respiratory distress and by abnormalities of the skin, hair and thyroid, was the apparent cause of neonatal death in 35 (24 per cent) of 146 piglets sired by a large white boar in four small commercial pig units. The syndrome appears to be of genetic origin, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Its similarities with the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of the newborn infant and the "barker" syndrome of the newborn foal are discussed.

What is nuclear medicine all about?

What is nuclear medicine all about? The field of nuclear medicine, defined as the application of radioactive tracers to medical diagnosis and treatment, has progressed significantly over recent years. At one time, only measurements of the concentrations of the radioactive tracers or other chemicals in blood, urine or other biologic material could be obtained at various intervals after the administration of a tracer or chemical. Therefore, prior to development of radiation detectors that reveal the distribution of radioactive tracers within the body, the function of the body could be studied only as a whole. It now is possible to study both regional and total body function by using the many radioactive tracers available and suitable imaging devices. By using the short-lived tracers (which have improved the quality of the images and reduced the radiation dose to the patient) and the recently developed scintillation camera, rapid dynamic studies of the course of the tracers through regions of the body may be performed, so that both spatial and temporal resolution is obtained. The use of computers has added a new dimension to the field of nuclear medicine. It is possible to improve greatly the quality of the information obtained. As a result, the regional distribution of radioactivity can be quantified and the changes that take place over a period of time in serial studies evaluated. Thus using a variety of radioactive tracers, each measuring a specific function, we can construct a mosaic of quantitative measurements of regional function. In this way, nuclear medicine may develop a body of coherent knowledge and become a clinical science as well as a collection of useful technics.

His bundle recordings: their contribution to the understanding of human electrophysiology. His bundle electrocardiography has increased our understanding of the electrophysiology of the conducting system and has confirmed a number concepts which evolved from analysis of surface electrocardiograms. Electrophysiologic evaluation of conduction disease in the cardiac catheterization laboratory has become an accepted diagnostic procedure in determining the site of atrioventricular and ventriculo-atrial block as well as in the evaluation of patients with pre-excitation resulting from conduction through Kent and James bundles. Recent reports suggest that His bundle electrograms may prove to be of clinical and therapeutic significance in determining the site of re-entry in patients with PSVT as well as in determining the short-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by incomplete bundle branch block. As our knowledge and understanding of the basic mechanisms, specific therapy, and prognosis of cardiac arrhythmias are expanded, the data derived from His bundle electrocardiography will become more useful in the clinical practice of cardiology.

The amount of blood withdrawn for diagnostic tests in critically ill patients. This study involved the measurement of blood withdrawn from critically ill patients for diagnostic tests during their first 3 days in eight intensive-care units. The study was conducted over a 2 to 3 week period. Data were collected on the number of draws performed per day, the total volume of blood withdrawn per day, and the volume of blood per draw on 253 patients. The subject population was divided into four general diagnostic categories: Post-open-heart surgical, surgical, medical, and cardiac. Approximately 85 per cent of the blood samples were drawn via venipuncture with arterial and capillary samples performed less frequently. The results demonstrate that the total volume of blood withdrawn differed among the diagnostic categories and hospitals. The average amount ranged from 20 ml. per day in surgical patients to 50 ml. per day in post-open-heart surgical patients. The volumes withdrawn daily from the subjects were generally lower than the authors had anticipated.

Myoglobinuria.

Myoglobinuria. Myoglobinuria is still considered to be an uncommon occurrence, however, with the advent of better diagnostic tests it is being increasingly recognized as a potentially life-threatening complication of muscle necrosis. The pathologic consequences of myoglobinuria, including respiratory failure, hyperkalemia, and acute renal failure demand recognition by all who work in areas where this syndrome may develop. This article describes the role of myoglobin in the muscle and how myoglobinuria may develop. It includes the symptoms, differential diagnosis, and treatment of myoglobinuria and possible complications.

The relation of dose rate of microwave radiation to the time of death and total absorbed dose in the mouse. This experiment demonstrates that for microwave radiation, absorbed dose determination alone is not dosimetrically sufficient. The average absorbed dose to death in this experiment increases as the rate of absorption decreases. This observation is not surprising since microwave energy produces heating of the biological tissues. Hence, with a higher rate of heating the body of an animal, the less it is able to retain homeostasis through metabolic regulation than with a lower rate of heating. The absorbed dose rate and the duration of exposure must both be determined in any microwave biological effects experiments.

On the role of storage granules in the functional utilization of newly synthesized dopamine. Previous studies have provided evidence for the prime importance of newly synthesized dopamine as compared with the large endogenous stores of amine in the functional mobilization of dopamine under conditions of a heavy demand on the neuron such as in the presence of a neuroleptic. The present study was designed to examine the role of storage granules in the utilization of newly synthesized dopamine and to examine the mechanism of the cataleptic action of reserpine-like drugs. It was found that the injection of a small dose of L-Dopa did not reverse the catalepsy produced by the short-acting dopamine depleter, Ro 4-1284, either when the depleter was given alone or was given after tyrosine hydroxylase blockade by alpha-methyltyrosine, provided that the L-Dopa was given at a time when Ro 4-1284 was present. However, the same dose of L-Dopa quickly reversed catalepsy when given at a time of dopamine depletion but in the absence of Ro 4-1284. Since alpha-methyltyrosine alone does not produce catalepsy until exhaustion of the large endogenous dopamine pool, but quickly potentiates neuroleptic-induced catalepsy, it is suggested that under normal conditions the slow transfer of stored dopamine to a releasable site is sufficiently rapid to maintain striatal function. However, the transfer rate appears to be too slow for adequate mobilization of the store under conditions of a heavy demand. It is further suggested that a prime role of storage granules is to channel newly synthesized dopamine into the synaptic cleft. Reserpine-like drugs appear to produce catalepsy, not by depletion per se of the main dopamine pool, but by interference with this granule channeling function.

Ventricular pseudo-bigeminy due to sustained myoclonus. An elderly unconsciocus patient with anteroseptal myocardial infarction showing ventricular pseudo-bigeminy (artifact) due to sustained myoclonus is reported. The reason why the artifacts coincided with his cardiac contraction is not clearly understood. The artifact is completely eliminated following intravenous injection of succinylcholine chloride. This is the first reported case of such a puzzling electrocardiographic finding to our knowledge. It is extremely important to distinguish between a true and pseudo-arrhythmia. Otherwise, an erroneous diagnosis frequently leads to an erroneous therapeutic approach.

Pseudo A-V block. Part II. This vignette demonstrates the importance of analyzing arrhythmias in the context of their particular clinical setting. Analysis and treatment of an arrhythmia without clinical information leads to errors in judgment. Arrhythmias may be interpreted as a didactic exercise that is used in the process of teaching and learning. However, when the question is asked, "How do you treat this arrhythmia?", then all clinical information ambient to the arrhythmia in question has to be available for analysis and judgment.


Methods of birth spacing, maternal lactation and post partum abstinence in relation to traditional African culture. The importance of birth spacing and the role playedby maternal lactation in achieving proper birth spacing in many traditional cultures in Africa are discussed.  The concept of adequate birth intervals, i.e. 2 or more years, has been well accepted in many countries of Africa.  Only very intensive, so-called "natural" lactation will cause the important reduction in fecundability necessary to achieve this spacing naturally.  When the mother has no confidence in her ability to nurse and begins to to supplement the breast-feedings, lactation will become difficult and the contraceptive effect will be reduced.  Studies from several cultures are cited as to the effect of natural lactation on the duration of postpartum amenorrhea.  African cultures teach the symbiotic relationship between mother and child.  This cultural concept has extended the natural contraceptive effect of lactation by prescribing various acceptable periods of abstinence.  Rapid change in values in these societies has overthrown certain customs.  Less severe practice of postpartum abstinence, use of supplementary bottle feeding, and complete avoidance of lactation in certain areas has undermined the contraceptive effect of lactation.  Health education in these areas should stress the beneficial aspects, both to mother and child, of lactation.  Supplementary contraception should also be mentioned.


Nutritional evaluation of breast-feeding practices in some countries in the far east. This nutritional evaluation of breast feeding practices in some countries in the Far East focuses on feeding practices, composition of human milk, trend in infant feeding, urbanization and breast feeding, reasons for weaning, human milk substitutes, food supplements, and vitamin supplements.  The background of malnutrition is complex.  In addition to adverse ecological factors that prevail in developing areas, there are the cultural factors of poor dietary practices and food beliefs.  Traditionally, infants are breast fed by the mothers.  In some families, particularly lower income families, breast milk is the only food given to the baby.  It is generally accepted that mother's milk is nutritionally adequate only up to 5-6 months of age.  After this point, breast milk without any supplement will be inadequate to support the fast growth of the child.  Consequently, the baby is always hungry and irritable.  A case of protein-energy malnutrition is slowly developing, compounded with anemia since milk is a poor source of iron.  The baby from a higher-income family may be denied the opportunity of breast feeding.  The greatest danger with bottle feeding is the prevailing poor hygiene and sanitation in the developing areas.  The type of feeding commonly practiced in most countries in the Far East is still breast feeding although the popularity of breast feeding is declining in these countries.  A study of breast feeding in the Philippines revealed that 2-1/2 times more mothers in rural areas than in urban areas were breast feeding.  In Luzon, Philippines, the major cause or reason for weaning in urban areas was inadequacy of the mother's milk.  The next most frequently given reason for terminating lactation was that the child was old enough to be weaned.  70% of study mothers in rural Luzon chose sweetened condensed milk for use in artifical feeding; 73% of the urban mothers preferred powdered milk.  The most frequent food supplement given to infants in both rural and urban areas in Luzon was rice porridge, which was introduced at 7 months.  The Luzon survey indicated that 79% of the urban and 39% of the rural babies were given vitamin mineral supplements.  In sum, babies in most countries in the Far East are relatively safe to the age of 6 months because of breast feeding.  Greater effort should be made by pediatric nutritionists and others in related fields to stop the growing trend toward artificial feeding and to encourage mothers to breast feed for as long as they can do so adequately.
